I too have a card that is in an "A" holder that could be upgraded numerically if I wore down the bottom, left corner on the sidewalk. Would I rather it be in an SGC 10 holder? Sure, but am I going to intentionally damage it further so that it can meet that technical grade? Not a chance. I suspect there are quite a few cards out there that would fall into that category (cut in some way - other than trimming to attempt to make a card look more "mint").
